[Bert Lloyd]

Hi all,

Will the current Cygwin binary (link below) work with Cygwin64? Any
tweaks to the installation process?

Thanks,

BL

There was some sort of compatibility issue with 64-bit Cygwin that has
been fixed for 2.1.2,
which should be released in a few days.

Enrico will know more, so I'll cc him.

Thanks, this is great to hear. I can certainly wait for 2.1.2.

Best,

Actually, that binary should also work with Cygwin64. You have to use
the setup-x86_64.exe installation tool to get the 64bit version.
